Zero Tolerance: How Much is Too Much?
Introduction
“Zero Tolerance” was first established in 1994 after the Gun-Free Act of 1994. This act stated that fire arms and weapons were not permissible on school property. The zero tolerance policy came into play to back the Gun-Free Act saying that any student that was on school property with a weapon and committing violent acts would be punished by suspension...

Zero Tolerance Shouldn’t Be Tolerated
In September of 1997 a nine year old boy handed out Certs Mints in class. He was subsequently suspended from school for possession and distribution of “look-alike” drugs and was interviewed by a police officer (Skiba, Peterson 1999). This is just one of many injustices the current zero tolerance policy has handed out since it began to be used in 1989. The origins of this policy speak loudly as to what...

The zero tolerance policy was created to prevent weapons from being bro9ught to school, but how far is too far? In a junior or senior high setting the policy is more understood and justified, however, in an elementary setting one may argue that the policy is a little harsh. How does one classify what a...

The theory of cultural imperialism in media is where one culture controls another, forcing
it's culture to change to the controlling one . This theory is said to have first developed in the
mid-twentieth century, and initially it was a response to the changes society was undergoing after
the development of improved telecommunications. Various terms such as "media imperialism",
"structural imperialism", and "cultural dependency and domination", (L. White) have all been used

Zero Tolerance for College Students
Gladwell stated in, “No Mercy” (2006), “this is the age of zero tolerance.” Zerotolerance policies, which are regulations for specific issues such as weapons, drugs, cheating and alcohol, are adopted by many schools and workplaces today. According to a government study, more than three quarters of the schools in America use zero policy to restrict students from misconduct. However, statistics show that there is no evidence proving that bad behaviors get deterred...

The zero tolerance policy strives to reduce violence in schools and make schools a safer place for students. Anne Atkinson, a member of the Virginia Board of Education defines zero tolerance as a “policy that mandates predetermined consequences or punishments for specified offenses.” The policy first became effective in 1989, but grew most rapidly in 1994 when the Gun- Free Schools Act was passed (1). There are many controversies about the zero tolerance policy including whether or not the policy...

doubt a need for discipline in schools every where. However, zero-tolerance policies are not the answer to school discipline unless they can be reformed to have fewer gray areas and kept from being too strict, be less disruptive to the education process and allow teachers to keep their voices, and figure out how to correct claims of racial discrimination, regardless of claims that they are effective.
I believe that the zero tolerance policy is very unfair because it punishes everyone for the problems...

fundamentals that constituted our current policy.
Yes, there was an unfortunate incident where an armed man stormed into the office premises with demands that lead to general discomfort of all employees. The HR department then formulated the "Zero Tolerance" policy for Applied Devices. A comfort for the HR department would be that it enjoyed strong executive support, but what exactly were they trying to prevent?
The list of not tolerated "doings" added on from then on to a comprehensive one which...

﻿Developing a Tolerance for Ambiguity
By Greg | Published: January 14, 2010
Celebrate your appreciation for ambiguity with a T-shirt like this from the Mental Floss store
Early in my career at GE, one of the leadership values the company mentioned, but never really emphasized, was a “tolerance for ambiguity”. There was never any coaching on how to develop such a capability. Even now, I can’t really find a reference to it on the web (though current GE CEO Jeff Immelt recently emphasized the need...

Chicken Finger Wars:
A Discussion on School Zero Tolerance Policies
On April 20, 1999, in the small town of Littleton, Colorado, two high-school students named Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris committed one of the most gruesome and heinous school shootings to date. They carried out a meticulously planned assault on Columbine High School during the middle of the school day. The boys' original plan was to kill hundreds of their peers. Armed with guns, knives, and a multitude of bombs, the two boys...

Cultural Relativism: A Moral Fallacy
Cultural Relativism is the theory that all belief's are equally valid and that truth itself is relative, depending on the situation, environment and individual. Those who hold the belief of Cultural Relativist, hold that all beliefs are completely relative to the individual within a cultural identity. In this essay, I will show that cultural relativism is unreliable as an ethical theory by showing the irrationality of the arguments that support it.
The...

respond to Rachels critique? Is the response effective? Why or why not?
In this essay, I will discuss James Rachels’ article “The Challenge of Cultural Relativism”, in which he criticizes the normative cultural relativism argument which is about how different cultures have different moral codes, thus there is no single...

Assignment 06
Option 1: Cultural Encounters and Cultural Exemptions
Between 1972 and 1976 in the UK, all motorcycle riders were required by law to wear a crash helmet. Sikhs sought an exemption, on the grounds that Sikh religious observance requires Sikh men to wear turbans (Barry, 2001, pp. 296–7). In 1976, the Motor-Cycle Crash Helmets (Religious Exemption) Act was passed, establishing the exemption in law.
How might a liberal philosopher argue in favour of the exemption? How might a liberal...

People throughout the world are greatly influenced by the cultural and environment in which they are raised. Moral and ethical standards and behavioral practices vary across cultures. Cultural relativism is an appealing theory; it should be the goal in terms of promoting tolerance and peace. Reaching that...

For any relationship to succeed both parties need patience, tolerance, and understanding. This becomes especially important when individuals come from dissimilar cultural backgrounds. If the individuals take the time to learn about the other’s culture many stereotypes and misconceptions will be eliminated. If they slow down and listen to one another they will likely find that despite their differences they...

article, the author explores the major meta-ethical theory of Cultural Relativism.
According to it, Cultural Relativism states that all morality is relative to culture, that
the truth of ethical claims is relative to an individual or group's perspective. Cultural
Relativism holds that an action is morally right or morally wrong because of the beliefs
and values of the culture in which the action takes place. Therefore cultural relativism
denies the possibility of any objective foundation...

Cultural Diversity in the Workforce
Cultural diversity in the workforce has both advantages and disadvantages. Just like anything implemented in business, there are always things that are great in one perspective and of course things that are not going to work well in every situation. An example of this is resolving conflicts in the workforce due to cultural diversity. What can a company do to resolve conflicts in the workforce because of cultural diversity? There are, however, things...

Cultural diversity, what is cultural diversity, and how does it affect the work place?

Cultural diversity encases more than just people who come from different...

﻿World Views and Cultural Landscapes
Every land has a past and a story behind it that has been built with time. This history is extremely important because if you take the time to analyse a certain land, you can realise that it has a lot of interesting things that you can learn. But are some lands more important than other? To characterise a land as a cultural landscape, many criteria are demanded. Also, a big influence for this kind of land is the world view. Here are two important terms that...

field of study and one of the most popular definitions is the one stated by Richards

The Cultural Revolution was the greatest educational incident chronicled in the last hundred years and it took place from 1966 to 1976. Mao Zedong was the leader of the Cultural Revolution and he wanted to bring about the Cultural Revolution by setting goals to form a more affective bureaucracy. The Cultural Revolution was a time when Red Guards fought against a democratic society and the guards attacked an aspect called the "4 olds." The "4 olds" were old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old...

The articles written by Linda McDowell and James Duncan discussed what cultural geography really is and its transformation through time. Linda McDowell’s article was entitled “The Transformation of Cultural Geography” while James Duncan’s article was entitled “The Superorganic in American Cultural Geography.” I find the article of Maxwell more interesting and well-explained than Duncan’s article. The scope of McDowell’s article is more extensive while Duncan’s article is focused on his main argument...

have chosen to write about why cultural universals pose a problem for moral relativism in this paper. I will begin by definingcultural universals (CU). Then, I will cite examples of such theory and continue by applying them to situations in which these similarities can be seen. Next, I will discuss how we can convince ourselves that a given standard of behavior is in fact a cultural universal. I will then define moral relativism as well as provide examples of cultural differences that are often...

Madeleine Leininger's Cultural Theory
Madeleine Leininger founded transcultural-nursing care. She is one of the very first nurse anthropologists that recognized care and culture as two major significant phenomena in nursing (Leininger.2002). Care according to Leininger’s concepts has different meaning in different cultures but in general, care refers to assistive or supportive behaviors that improve an individual’s condition (Leininger.2002). According to Madeleine Leininger, care is essential for...

We as humans refer to this as culture, culture sums up everything that we do as citizens or do differently as persons in one word. This word is used all over the globe to give people what they deserve, their own way of living.

When a sub-ordinate nation is ruled by a more dominant nation, the dominant nation passes on most of its cultural traits, most notably language, onto the sub-ordinate nation through power. This transfer of one culture onto another, is what we call, cultural imperialism. The language that is believed to be the dominant language today is the ‘English’ language, which obviously comes from the western culture. In today’s world you see English spoken almost everywhere, in India its even the co-official...

Cultural relativity is the process to understand that all beliefs, customs, and ethics are relative to the individual within his own social context. In other words, “right” and “wrong” are culture-specific; what is considered moral in one society may be considered immoral in another society. And since there is no something as “universal standard of morality”, therefore we have to use the culture’s own value system to judge the culture. It is closely related to ethical relativism, which is to judge...

Cultural Revolution
Of the many famous revolutions, one of them is the Cultural Revolution in China. TheCultural Revolution created problems rather than solving them due to the lack of good leadership, respectable organization and a settled goal. This revolution took place from August 1966 to 1976 –the year Mao died- and attacks took place by "The Red Guards" against the educated in order to bring the poor people on a higher level. There were many obstacles such as The Gang of Four (four Chinese...

Cultural Globalization refers to the transmission of ideas, meanings and values across national borders.
From the anthropological context culture is more indigenous and refers to elements that condition and distinguishes human life as opposed to other mammals and gives a sense of identity.

(Rachels 618). This claim is known as Cultural Relativism. "Cultural Relativism, as it has been called, challenges our ordinary belief in the objectivity and universality of moral truth. There is no such thing as universal truth in ethics: there there are only the various cultural codes, and nothing more. Moreover, our own code has no special status, it is merely one among many" (Rachels 618). It is clear that the answer to the question of ethics is, Cultural Relativism.

CULTURAL MEANING
The meaning humans give to actions, concepts and behaviours is dependent on the cultural milieu and is conditioned to a great extent by the underlying meaning systems, values and frames of meaning he/she inherites from the society in general. Socialization plays a direct role in that process. Education, effects of peers and the intellectual atmosphere all contribute to what is called cultural meaning or systems of meaning. Cultural meaning conditions our perception and determines...
